hi, i'm half white half asian and i use to have really white skin .
last year when i went on the crews my skin got REALLY dark, it got better last winter but now i'm dark again, i was wondering what natural products like lemon i heard would make me white again because i look really bad with dark skin.
i don't want to bleach my self or anything and i would like to use something that have quick results that would get me whiter before school starts.
and yes, i do stay indoors alot but it doesn't seem to work.
so please and please do you have any ideas
thanx
ps i'm not trying to change my self or any thing just go back to the way i am.

Okay, if having dark skin is really an issue to you, then I recommend you go to a dermatologist for advice. If a dermatologist is too expensive, try going to Sephora (www.sephora.com), they usually have skin brighteners, or at home chemical peels. Chemical peels can also be done professionally -- but are a little uncomfortable and require you to stay completely out of the sun for a day or two. In the meantime, use a strong SPF for your face. I'm sure you don't look bad at all with a darker shade of skin. I'm the complete opposite-- I have really really light skin and I wish I could tan easy but I can't! Usually my tans don't last long at all. But anyway, good luck to you!

To lighten your skin you can get a chemical peel or use fair & white products. They have lightening lotions and gels that get rid of unwanted darkening skin. I'm sure this will help you to get back to the way you were. Also, use a sunscreen. Lemon juice will work too.
To be honest with you a little color is kinda hot. Since you are half Asian, you are considered to be a "woman of color" and your skin will tend to tan easier than your white counterparts. Embrace that side of you now because we all get darker with age. I'm sure your beautiful light or dark though!
Good Luck!

well it seems that you tan really easily so you are stuck with it for now.
staying in is good and make sure you use a good sunscreen and/or cover up when you do have to go outside, to not get any darker.
there's nothing you can do to fade a tan - it just takes time.

you cannot safely change your skin color, people have tried to and failed,I dont use
Michael Jackson as an example, he looks like death besides, dark skin is beautiful, be proud because it is natural.

You cant do it, unless you have a recently applied fake tan. only then will the lemon work. but you cant bleack yourself or anything. sorry it doesnt work.
